Obviously, nba wise. coaches Pop and Kerr are better. Since Coach K only coach in US Ncaa for Duke
But based on international tourneys like Fiba and Olympics.
Coach K have a mind breaking 75 wins and 1 lose record.
While coach Pop and coach Kerr have way more losses, with way less wins. With less number of games.
Team USA doesnt lack talent.
But it is the coaches job to manage egos, develop chemistry, and execute team plays.
Is Coach K a better coach in terms of fiba/olympics competition?
Do you think Coach K can manage egos better, and got more respect from superstars?
If yes, why?
If no, what do you think is the reason from the win loss record gap?
People in here severely underrating how much of Coach K’s reputation helped him reel in Kobe and Melo. This is a man who probably personally recruited a good percentage of his national teams when they were teenagers.
The amount of respect that man gets is pretty high and if you don’t get with the program he’ll tell you to GTFO in front of everyone which I doubt he needed to do.
